It Can't Be Forced

When the soul of a relationship is lostself-help books appear on the coffee table.When grace is not experiencedbehavior is scrutinized carefully.When harmony is missingthe talk is about "my needs," and "your needs."When the relationship is dyingloyalty and fidelity are demanded.Return to your heart.Here is where your relationship must live."Working on a relationship"can be an illusion.Trying to carve your relationshipinto an idealized imagewill damage you both.The real thing liveswithin each of you.It can't be forced,only allowed to emerge.Can you see it?
